porter:

Rice, a railroad employe, who ran to
the house and on entering found an
unknown man asleep in the bed Of

house of j. b. Simpsons, occupied by
n Mr.. James, Mr.. Il. Torbert's residence
fronting Monument street, and a house
and the west end of j. A. Carriers
stock ward were all in a blaze and past
saving.
The store house occupied by MI.

and was valued at $1,000, with $500 in
surance in the Oakland Company, oil
California.

The George Boom.

CINCINNATI, o, Jan. 1.-THE Sun
published a Sensational article yester-
day on the prominence Of Henry
George In the labor world. Since
Georges candidacy in New York the
laboring men have been paying con-
siderable attention to his views, and
Henry George clubs. composed of
knights Of Labor, have been organ
lied all over the country. A member
of the Henry George Club of this
city, in an interview, declared that the
Catholic Church is bitterly opposed to
Georges land policy, and that II will
use all It's efforts 10 crush the Knights
of Labor in ease the latter organiza-
ton supports George. The article
SAYS that the meeting Of Catholic
bishops, held in Baltimore before the
Richmond convention, was for that
purpose, and that the Knight of La
Dor are given to understand that they
had best re-elect Mr.. Powderly, who,
the Sun says, is devoted la his relig-

Very quietly indeed the y==.enf~ Congress
providing for the allotment of lands in sew
crafty to@.l0 Indians has gone into effect yet
{ tits act, in certain sense, is of as much inn
portance as the Interstate commerce act,
about which everybody has been talking 1t
marks total change of our national policy
in dealing with the Indian and makes his
evolution from an irresponsible rover to a
law abiding citizen possible. The "severaty
act" as it is called, enables the individual
Indian to become private proprietor of his
own allotment, if he prefers that to the Joint
ownership in the whole body of tribal land.
Friends OF the Indian expect great results
from giving him land Of his own, which he
may cultivate and defend from trespass; al
though 1t has not been thought wise to give
him the power of alternating it at will An
interesting incident that happened Saturday
calls attention to this wholly new status
which the 'seyeralty act" gives to the In
dian. Near Niobrara, Nebraska, is the San
tee Indian agency. The people of the coun-
ty have been having fight over the county
seat, and Saturday was fixed as election day.
Some Of the citizens of the county learned
that the Santee Indians were planning to
vote To prevent it they sent protest to
the Interior Department at Washington
General Upshaw, the Acting Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs, replied that under the laws
of Nebraska all citizens of the United States
who have resided six months in the State,
forty days in the county, and ten days In the
ward or precinct have the right to vote, and
that under the Allotment act the Santee In
dams are citizens of the United States, and
must have the same privileges as other citi-
zens. II this ruling of General Upshaw's is
sustained the Indian has become citizen,
although he has not entirely ceased to be a

the State government in bringing up their
families" The case of the mother who
wanted to have her little daughter with her
where she could look out for her will of
course seem somewhat of a hardship. and
many will be of the opinion that the three
boys would be better OFF at work than run
ming about the streets But, granted that
these are hardships, they do not compare
Tor an instant with the hardships involved
before the ten hour bill was passed, when a
lazy Frenchman in one of our factory towns
could send his little children to the mills to
earn living for him while he loafed; and
when generation of unschooled citizens
was growing up to perpetrate over again on
their children the same iniauities. There
was necessity for the State government to
interfere in the bringing up of families.

Working of the Ten.Hour Law.

The ten-hour law has gone into effect in
Maine with remarkably little friction and
scarcely any complaint. The strike in the
LOckwoods Mills at Waterville is the only
case of serious trouble, and this seems from
our dispatches to have been brought about
by the unreasonablencss of some of the OPP
eratives. When the number OF hours of la
Tor was reduced in the Lockwood Mills I'M
der the new law the wages were continued
at the old figure. But no advance was made
in the wages of the hands who worked by
the piece, and, as their hours of labor were
shortened, they found their income reduced
while their fellows were getting the same in
come for less work. This of course made
trouble; and some of the piece workers
struck for more pay. The agent seems to
have granted the demand at once, as he did
also the demand of the spoilers, who fol-
lowed suit in asking an advance, This read
ness of the agent to acknowledge the justice
of the claims Of the piece workers, embol-
dened the ring spinners, who were paid by
the week and were getting the same wages
for sixty hours of work that they formerly
got Cor sixty-six or seventy-two, and they
struck for more pay. The agent refused to
grant it, very properly as it seems from what
information we have. 1t seems to be a case
where the operatives attempted to take an
inch when grented an ell. The compensa-
ton forthe amount of work done by the ring
spinners had really been raised by the ten
hour law, and their case was totally differ
ent from the case of the piece workers
Another case, of little Importance only so
far as it shows the disposition of some Ia
borers toward the new law, occurred in the
shoe factory at Norway last week. Deputy
Labor Commissioner Campbell, in inspecting
the shoe factory, found employed there two
little girls under twelve years Of age, which
is the age limit under which no minor may
lawfully work in manufacturing or me-
chanical establishment in Maine The little
girls were assisting their mothers, who are
regular employees of the factory. The Com
missioner informed the employers that the
girls must leave the mill. One of the moth
ers declared that she had her title girl with
her because she wished to look after her
during the vacation of the schools, and also
because the child was of considerable as
sistance to her. When the Commissioner in
sisted that the law must be obeyed, both the
mother and girl, as the Oxford County Ad-
vertiser says, burst into tears" and the
two mothers gave Mr.. Campbell "piece of
their minds" Three boys, also under
Twelve years Of age, who were working in
the mill during their vacation, were ordered
out, much to the anger Of their parents. who
were indignant "about the interference of

The anti-Saloon Republicans of Massachu-

They emphasize the necessity of eleeting tc
